“Jesus and His Authority, Part 1” (4/7/13)

Pastor Blaik J. Westhoff
Mark 4:35-5:20
1. What does it mean to have authority?

2. Answer these questions yourself. Who is this that even the wind and the waves obey him? Who is this that demons flee him?

3. Do you believe that Jesus has what it takes to keep ‘that thing in your life’ from claiming you? Explain your answer.

Mark 2:6-12
1. Where does such authority come from?

2. We are familiar with the saying “It is easier said than done”, in your own words explain the deeper point Jesus was making to those witnessing this scene.

3. The teachers of the law were correct in saying “Who can forgive sins but God alone?”, Explain your understanding of this statement.
